My Last Annie Tuesday

My Tuesdays with Annie have come to an end, but before I can continue this post I have a few DISCLAIMERS for you- 1. If you do not like sentimental moments and do not wish to hear me talk about my last few days here than do not read this post. 2. If you do not like looking at pictures of my adorable Chubba Bubba than I also suggest that you skip this post. Ok now that I have that over with onto the best part............ THE PICTURES!!

Let's go to the park!! Annie insisted on holding the ball on the drive over there, she is my little baller!!
Off she goes towards the basketball court!! It is the cutest thing to watch her play b-ball with me. She actually runs after my rebounds giggling and throws the ball back to me. Way too fun!!

Cheese!!

Look at those big blue eyes!! Too Cute!



She just talks up a storm now a days!! I was sitting at my computer printing off my farewell invites (the printer is the sound you hear in the background and what is distracting Annie) and I heard Anners gibbering and I look over and this is what I found! Way too funny! Love her!!!

San Diego Girl's Trip

Here are some of the random pics I took during our trip last weekend, I took a zillion as always so I am just gonna throw some of the best ones on here.

Whale Watching on the ocean- My ears got wicked sun burnt, blisters and everything, plus I threw up on the boat!! Not the highlight of my trip! lol

How many days are we staying for?!? 2!! I never would have guessed!

Erin and I at the hotel

Me and my mommy at Chevy's

Erin and I had fun playing with the squeeze cheese in the car!

The Moms

The Girls

Just in case you can't tell- I Love the Beach!! Btw this pic was not posed, props to Jennie for catching me in the moment!

The beach bum girls!! Woot Woot!

Jennie's on top of the world- or a big rock at least!

Jennie took this picture of me- well taking a picture- shocker me taking pics!! lol This was outside of the temple, I was taking the pretty pics you see below.

The absolutely gorgeous San Diego temple.

I was so grateful for the opportunity I had to go inside this temple, it is only the second temple I have ever been to, and hopefully that list will continue to grow!


I had such a great time and made so many awesome memories on this trip!! Mom and Jennie were so wonderful for planning it all and thanks so much mom for paying for it!! I will never forget our Whale of a Girls Road Trip!

SeaWorld

As part of our girl's trip this weekend in San Diego we spent Saturday at SeaWorld and had a blast!! I hadn't been since I was a kid and I forgot how cool it was!

We all got soaked on the Atlantis ride, but Erin and I got the worst of it because we were sitting in the very front!! The worst part was that we went on the ride in the morning and we were all cold and some what miserable for the rest of the day!

The dolphin show

Up close and personal with the dolphins.

Shamu...... Backflip!!!

Erin posing with the beautiful ocean in the background

I like starfish!

Look I have a map!!! This is my first map, it didn't last long seeing as it was in my back pocket and it kind of disintegrated after riding Atlantis.

The Girls. Mom, me, Erin, Jennie

Chilling. Ya, I know I am just too cool. lol

Dolphins!!! This was by far one of the coolest things about our trip. I had never pet a doplhin before, let alone feed one.

Ya baby, a Texas flag!! I saw this and had to get a pic!

Mesquite Junior High Presents....

My four younger Arizona cousins were all in the play Cinderella and mom and I went to see it tonight. They did such a great job and looked so fabulous in their costumes, I took tons of pictures, but I put up only a few, but still a lot. lol




Cousin Laura front and center in her beautiful towns person dress (the green and brown one) sewed by my oh so talented aunt Elaine. She looked so gorgeous and so grown up!!

My cousin Max is the little boy in the middle in brown.

Cinderella's grand entrance to the ball!! It looks way good for a Jr. High play for sure!!

These were the wicked stepsisters. They were hilarious and therefor my favorite part.

Max and his gold pants- he looks so cute!!! He really did quite well for a six year old, being up on stage and standing exactly where he was supposed to and what not.

This was darling, each of the boy escorted a flower girl to the staircase. Maxy is the perfect gentleman!!

Cinderella and the prince ride off in their carriage. (The girl in pink- top left- is my cousin Allison)


Last but not least, in the Dark blue shirt is my cousin Jake.

Can I take Her With Me?

Ahh Annie is just too cute!!! If she fits in the bucket she can fit in my suitcase right?

Packing Up

Mom said that before I left I had to pack up my room. Everything except, my bed and the empty dresser had to be gone, packed up or gotten rid of. I decided that since this wouldn't be such a fun thing to do I would get a head start on it. I went ahead and packed up all of my things that I will not be needing for the next thirty days and got them ready to go up in the attic. I was told by mom, Jennie and Amy that I must get rid of LOTS of my boy clothes so that when I get back I could be girly (or at least more girly) and find myself a husband. Being such the obedient girl that I am (lol), I filled up TWO giant garbage bags of "boy" clothes to give to D.I. I am glad the packing up is over with!!

I never realized how many clothes I had until I pulled them all out and started sorting

I had to make some smaller boxes to put up in the top part of my closet, the heat sensitive things like DVDS, CDS, and photos go up there since it is AZ after all and who knows what would happen to them in the attic!!

DI bags!!! Yay!!


The boxes are all stacked on top of each other, so you can't tell but there are ten of them, so they have to wait in my room for a little bit until dad has time to build more shelves in the attic! lol

49 Forever!!

Dad turns 49 tomorrow and since the whole fam is always together on Sunday evenings we decided to celebrate tonight (and then again tomorrow night at Joe's for his free Birthday dinner). IN honor of his being so old we all wore black to morn his youth. Dad is not very observant and did not realize that the 5 people sitting at the dinner table with him were dressed in all black. We had to point it out to him. Kevin and I decided that since we will not be here next year for when he turns 50 we would give him an extra hard time this year!! But he wasn't having any of it- he is confident that he will be 49 forever!! Silly Daddy!

The family (Except Sarah- taking the picture)


Cheesy Smile!!

He's got enough hot air to blow out all the candles!! lol

We are crazy!!! But we like it that way!
